Salt Lake City, UT -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/18/2017 --To jumpstart a new and improved green lifestyle, consider starting from home. There are many great resources that help get the ball rolling such as americanchemistry.com and energy.gov. Going green is not only earth-friendly, but can significantly save a lot of money in the longterm as well. As shared by the Huffington Post here are the top 5 ways to save money and energy from the comforts of home

Air dry laundry instead of using the dryer

The usage of the dryer results in at least 6 percent of each household's electric bills. Sunlight provides natural bleaching and natural disinfecting properties that get rid of stains and kill germs. This is a very cost-effective and energy-saving method.

Turn off the lights if you are not using them

Get the household involved by encouraging all family members to turn off the lights if they are not using them. Open up the drapes and make use of natural light.

Switch to Compact Fluorescent and LED Lights

Right now a 12-pack of SlimStyle Soft White LED Light Bulbs is being offered as the deal of the day on yugster.com. These 9W LED Bulbs are as bright as traditional 60W bulbs but only consume 15% of the energy, saving as much as 85% on the power bill.

Each bulb comes with a lifespan of up to 10,000 hours. If used 3 hours a day, that is a whopping 13.7 years before needing to replace the bulb, saving energy, time and money.

Work Smarter: Use the Laptop, Instead of the Desktop

Three quarters of energy is cut down with laptop use. Unplug the laptop when the day ends. Investing in smart power strips that cut off the flow of energy when appliances hooked to it are not in use can also cut energy usage.

Utilize Solar Energy for Outdoor Lighting

Normally $34.99, the Ecothink Solar-Powered Outdoor LED Light with Motion Sensor is just $14.97 as a daily deal on yugster.com. This light will light up the night when the PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor detects movement with 180 blinding lumens from 2 LED lights. The motion sensor even detects movement from up to 30ft to keep unwanted predators away from the home.
